Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

More from the Tulip Fields

In spite of being busy most of the day playing catch-up on domestic duties, I did manage to get a few more photos together from our adventures in the tulip fields earlier this past week.

It has been a busy, but productive day, and I’ve managed to check everything off my ‘to do around the house’ list.   I also haven’t left the house today- not even to go out and check the mail.  It has been wonderful.

Tomorrow, the weatherman is calling for rain, and upon looking at the weather forcast for the coming week, I see nothing but rainy skies-  that could change, and while I”m not thrilled about a week of rain, I know we could use some of that liquid sunshine.

How are you spending your weekend?

My dinner is almost ready, so I’m off-    Have a great day!

Peace, Love, and Marriage

Yesterday when Anna & I were headed towards the train station, where we would part ways and head to our prospectove homes, we passed the old City Hall, which apparently has become “the” place to wed on Fridays.

In front of the building was a parade of parked cars, and leading the pack was a Mercedes bus that appeared to have stepped right out of the 60’s.

As we stood there admiring the colorful bus, we noticed the doors to city hall open, so we decided to wait and see if we could get a glimpse of the happy couple.

Anna and I joked about whether they would be dressed in 60’s garb, and whether it was a “themed” wedding, or if the happy couple were actually misplaced “flower children”.

It wasn’t long before we had the opportunity to see for ourselves that they were the real deal.

They drew quite a crowd, and being the romantic that I am, I really enjoyed sharing in this piece of their history, even if they were oblivious to me and the other onlookers.

Mr. & Mrs. Whomever-you-are, I wish you a long, happy life together, with much peace and lots of love.
